Tn the schedule tune of the South ern Pacific, slight change will be made in the departure of the stages on the Bowie and Thomas stage line. Both stages will here- after reach here at noon, which will enable passengers to eat a comfortable meal and arrive at their destination at a reasonable hour, always making close connec- tions with the railroad at Bowie station.
 Company G, 9th Infantry, Capt. Morton in command, passed through Wednesday last, en route from San Carlos to Fort Bowie, where it will hereafter be sta toned.
 The sad event of the week was the sudden death, on Thursday last, of Cornelius Elias, one of our most respected Mexican citizens. He complained of being unwell only a day before his death and remained on duty as guard in the jail, which position he has held for the past three and half years, up to the morning of the day on which he died. Reports differ as to the cause of his death, but it is generally believed to have been due to a congestive chill. He was buried on Friday, and such was the esteem in which he was held in this community that every nan, woman and child attended the funeral. Tho Sheriff's office and jail are draped in mourning in re- spect to his memory. In the death of Cornelius Elias Sheriff Craw- ford has lost an efficient and faith ful deputy, Graham county an estimable citizen and his family loving and devoted husband and father. He leaves a wife and four children to mourn their loss.
 D. H. Ming, administrator of the estate of J. B. Collins, came up Saturday on legal business. The cattle belonging to the estate which were advertised to be sold Saturday last will not be sold un- til Saturday next, November 5th, and then in lots to suit the pur- chasers. Application has been made to the Probate Court for an order 10 sell the real estate be- longing to the estate, which, con- sidering its condition, will doubt less be granted. This will throw on the market as fine a business stand as there is in Graham county, and our enterprising citizens should keep themselves posted as to the time of sale.
 J. H. Vaughn, who has been teaching the public school at San Jose for the past two months, will resign his charge at the expiration of the present month and accept a position at the Sierra Bonita ranch. He is an old-time Ari- zonian and has been farmer, stock man and miner at different times. He resided in Yavapai county many years and bears the scars of several wounds received from the arrows of the hostile Indians who infested that section in the early days. He was also superintend- ert of the McCracken mine in Mohave county. He possess con- siderable ability and will no doubt give satisfaction to the manager of the Sierra Bonita Land and Stock company, his next employer.
 The residence of County Treas urer Pomeroy is nearing com pletion, and it is only question of few days until his family be- comes one of us.
 Messrs. Newell, Smith and others are discussing the question of a grand ball to be given Thanks giving night. If decided on favor ably it is safe to predict it suc- cess.
 Pony Duncan is visiting here from Thomas. He says it is re- ported there that another mar riage IS on the tapis. He won't give the names of the parties principally interested, but says the intended groom is business man of the town, jovial, good looking, weighs about 220 pounds, and is we'll known in Clifton. Wonder who it can be? CHA.
